Center for the Arts, Jewel Theatre

Choreographed by Andrea Vazquez-Aguirre, visiting assistant professor of dance, the show "Soil Turning" is inspired by exploring the identities of thirteen performers including a social activist, a philosopher and cultural theorist and a writer.

Tillage is the agricultural preparation of soil by mechanical agitation of various types such as digging, stirring and overturning. The audience may experience their own creative and academic tillage as they reflect on factors that play a role in defining identity.

As engaged scholars and citizens, the performers and the audience share in the message of moving away from assumptions based on stereotypes to the notion that identity is fluid and shifts throughout one's life.
